Being happy–is it good for the Jews? "Before Professor Dershowitz accused me of being an anti-Semite (news to me), I was a happy person. Since then, I'm still a happy person". –Michael Santomauro
JERUSALEM (JTA) -- Richard Falk, the special rapporteur of the United Nations on the Palestinians, told the U.N. Human Rights Council that Israel is committing ethnic cleansing in eastern Jerusalem.
Falk's statements Monday to the Human Rights Council came as the council prepared a resolution condemning settlement building in the West Bank and eastern Jerusalem.
Falk called the council's attention to what he said was the intensifying deterioration of human rights in eastern Jerusalem, pointing to the increasing number of Jews moving into homes in the area and Palestinians being expelled from their homes by courts after challenges to their property ownership.
This situation "can only be described in its cumulative impact as a form of ethnic cleansing," Falk said, according to Reuters.
Israel does not allow Falk to enter the country and does not deal with him in any way because of what it considers to be his biased mandate.

Excerpt:
"The president does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation."
So said constitutional scholar and Senator Barack Obama in December 2007 -- the same man who, this weekend, ordered U.S. air and missile strikes on Libya without any authorization from Congress.
Obama did win the support of Gabon in the Security Council, but failed with Germany. With a phone call to acquitted rapist Jacob Zuma, he got South Africa to sign on, but not Brazil, Russia, India or China. All four abstained.
Gadhafi did not attack the West. He faced an uprising to dethrone him and rallied his troops to crush it, as any ruthless ruler would have done. We have no vital interest in who wins his civil war.
Indeed, Gadhafi has asked of Obama, "If you found them taking over American cities by force of arms, what would you do?"

What sort of TRUTH is it that crushes the freedom to seek the truth?

Christopher Pyne brings a point of order against Climate Change Minister Greg Combet (AAP: Alan Porritt)
The spectre of the holocaust was raised in a spiteful Question Time in Federal Parliament, with the Opposition likening the phrase "climate change denier" to the Nazi genocide of Jews.
Prime Minister Julia Gillard described Tony Abbott as a climate change denier - a frequent political barb used against the Opposition Leader.
But the Manager of Opposition Business, Christopher Pyne, took a point of order.
"I think the words being used by the Prime Minister would be regarded as offensive words," he said amid rowdy scenes.
"We all know the connotation the Prime Minister is trying to bring about by using the word 'denier'.
"We know she's trying to allude to the holocaust. It is offensive and it must stop."
Speaker Harry Jenkins said he had to use "all the sensitivity" he could muster to hush the House.
"I think that the construction the Manager of Opposition Business has placed at this point in time is stretching it," he said.
But Mr Pyne was not prepared to leave it there.
"Mr Speaker, with 18 years in this place I don't think anybody would accuse me of making light of the holocaust or any issue to do with the state of Israel," he said.
"I was 11 years as chairman of the parliamentary friendship group on Israel. I make the connection between climate change denier and holocaust denier.
"I find it offensive and I'm sure the Leader of the Opposition finds it offensive. In that spirit I would ask you to ask [Ms Gillard] to withdraw it."
But the Speaker would not be moved - and delivered a reprimand to both sides.
"I simply say to the House that actually having come to this flashpoint I would hope that members take a deep breath and behave in a manner that those that observe us from outside would expect," Mr Jenkins said.
"That would apply to both sides actually turning down the heat, turning to the basics of what we are here for.
"That is to debate the issues and not get into the personality clashes that we are seeing over many question times.
"Regrettably, we are judged by this hour-and-a-half of our proceedings."
But neither would Mr Abbott leave it alone.
"I find the Prime Minister's statement both untruthful and offensive. If you don't wish to ask her to withdraw Mr Speaker, I just want to place on record it is both untruthful and offensive," he said.
Mr Jenkins wanted no more of the issue.
"I hope that the whole membership of the House would see this as a full stop," he said.

 | Ron Paul: No-fly zone unconstitutional and "more related to oil" vanscottcnn | March 22, 2011 at 10:27 am | Categories: CNN, In The Arena | URL: http://wp.me/p1faJE-18Y |
Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) argues that President Barack Obama lacks the constitutional power to act militarily in Libya. Paul continues, "I think [the U.S. government is] being disingenuous when they say this is a mission for humanitarianism. It's probably more related to oil than anything else."

By RICHARD HARTLEY-PARKINSON The woman has been separated from her baby for nearly five years A baby girl has been kept away from her mother for almost five years after she refused to sign a form consenting to a Caesarean section - even though she did not end up needing to have the operation. The extraordinary case began after staff at a New Jersey hospital claimed that refusal to give permission for the procedure amounted to child abuse. The agonising decision triggered a protracted legal battle which has led to the mother being separated from her child for five years. The woman, known only as VM, launched an appeal after authorities took her baby away from her immediately after the birth in 2006 at St Barnabas Hospital in New Jersey.
